How to Build a Madras Roof

In this new series titled Sustainable Home, we will take you through a series of videos on how to build a sustainable home. At Aanandaa, we are building an innovative and creative home, which is as sustainable as possible. We have explored several construction technologies and designs to ensure we have the most natural, resilient and energy efficient home.
In this video, Manisha takes you through an overview of how to make a Madras Roof, its benefits and aesthetics.
The Rohtak Domes/ Madras Roof team led by Naranyaji is a talented crew that can built vaults, domes and jack arches without any steel or shuttering. The domes are made only with brick and cement, and stay in place because of the angle they are placed at. The roof is quite magical and miraculous in its structure and design.
Sustainable architecture at Aanandaa is directed by Ar. Jitesh Malik from Studio Aureole. The integral design practice at their studio combines a commitment to environmental sensitivity with a contemporary design language and a pedagogical process. At Aananda, Jitesh creatively contextualised a diverse range of sustainable practices to collaboratively work towards an aesthetically enriching experience.
